Bug 115

Summary: configure script copying source files
Product: SDL Reporter: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: HG 1.2   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Linux   

Description Ryan C. Gordon 2006-01-30 12:48:06 UTC 
The configure script does this:

Copying ./src/thread/linux/SDL_systhread.c -> src/thread/SDL_systhread.c
Copying ./src/thread/linux/SDL_systhread_c.h -> src/thread/SDL_systhread_c.h
Copying ./src/thread/linux/SDL_syssem.c -> src/thread/SDL_syssem.c
Copying ./src/thread/generic/SDL_syssem_c.h -> src/thread/SDL_syssem_c.h
Copying ./src/thread/linux/SDL_sysmutex.c -> src/thread/SDL_sysmutex.c
Copying ./src/thread/linux/SDL_sysmutex_c.h -> src/thread/SDL_sysmutex_c.h
Copying ./src/thread/linux/SDL_syscond.c -> src/thread/SDL_syscond.c
Copying ./src/thread/generic/SDL_syscond_c.h -> src/thread/SDL_syscond_c.h
Copying ./src/timer/linux/SDL_systimer.c -> src/timer/SDL_systimer.c

...it would be nice if we could just build these in-place, so that debuggers see the right source filenames, and if these get edited, developers are editing the right one.  :)

Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2006-01-31 09:07:17 UTC 
I believe this was done because (at the time?) the autoconf stuff didn't support building files in subdirectories without a sub-make.
Comment 2 Sam Lantinga 2006-03-09 10:15:40 UTC 
Bye bye automake...
